Strong Family Vacation 2015: Jenny's Canyon

Before calling it a day I drug some willing participants on another little expiation . . .exploring a slot canyon.

 

 

 It was fabulous. The hike was short! And once we reached the canyon the temperature dropped dramatically!

 

 

The formations & colors within the canyon were amazing.

 

There were all sorts of nooks and crannies for the kiddos to climb on, climb in & explore.

It was a beautiful example of "nature's playground"

For those who weren't so into climbing there was also some amazingly soft sand to play in.

 

Definitely a place I would like to return to. I shouldn't have too much complaining because all the kiddos had a good time too!

 

 

The trail to the canyon crossed a dry river bed with sand that was calling to a few lucky kiddos.

 

On the way back I promised we could stop & let them play for a bit.

 

Next time when it isn't so hot, I believe I will take my sand lovers to the sand dunes (just across) the road from this hike). They would love it!
